Yes i ride a torture rack R1 (not as bad as a Ducati) I haul my bike via truck/trailer anytime my bike's go out of town (bi-annual if not more) When in the bed of the truck i use a Canyon dancer across the clipons and and compression tie-down up front. I do this so i dont over crank a set of ratcheting tie downs, Although there exactly what i use on the rear of the bike once the front end is secured.
When on my trailer i use a set of Harbor freight front wheel chocks that have a bar that comes up behind the tire once you roll it in, at that point i go through the same steps as above. Ive been told that with the front wheel chock all i need to do is put a strap on each side of the rear of the bike and it will ride fine.. I still dont trust this advice..
Would love to have a set of the pitbull rear axle secure systems (no tie downs or canyon dancer needed.. but i have a little trouble dropping that much cash.. hopeing one day the price comes down a little.
Im intrested in hearing what you do when you do haul your bike, methods, tips, tricks, ect..
*note* the towing the bike on its sidestand down method is a VERY VERY BAD IDEA... seen this method FAIL and almost ruin one buddys trip..
